It varies by the model and storage capacity, but it is generally recommended to leave 10% of a Computer's Hard Drive empty. For example, if one has a 500GB Hard Drive, they should leave 50GB empty. Some tools to remove useless programs and bloat are Revo Uninstaller, which will clear out all the files created by a program; and CCleaner, which can remove temporary files and old files that don't do anything any more. It is also recommended to defragment your Hard Drive if you are on Windows 7 or lower.

Misleading Computer Sales?

Computer sales often lead consumers to buy computers that don't actually meet their needs. As such, proactive consumers will write down a list of their priorities before they head out to the big sale. Generally speaking, you shouldn't settle for anything less than an upgrade. A dual-core processor, 4 gigabytes of RAM, and a 500 gigabyte hard drive are what you're looking for. Of course, gaming PCs and multimedia stations will require quad-core processors, dedicated video RAM, and even more hard drive space�all depending upon your lifestyle.


What is the recommended RAM required to run advanced applications?

For a long time the standard used to be 512 MB. But now with Vista, advanced applications, and extreme graphics, gaming, and multimedia, the minimum requirement for RAM is atleast 1 GB. 1 GB is still only for basic computer needs though. If using advanced applications such as computer aided design, video or photo editing, or gaming, 2 GB of RAM should be sufficient. With a new windows operating system on the verge of appearance (in 2009) 3 GB would probably not be a bad way to go either (especially if your into a lot of multimedia).
